I got back the other day.

Yesterday was a strange welcome. The strongest typhoon to hit Manila in 11 years (according to the papers) greeted me strong and hard.

Driving through EDSA today, the devastation just hit me.

A lot of people complained about the deaths caused by unsafe billboard installations. They really ought to take those billboards down. There's just too many of them, and the visual clutter is so unappealing. They can start with those Bench billboards whose models look like they have oversized heads (what's up with those new billboards, anyway?)

It's weird because among all of my friends who got their own pad, I was the one who was the least obssessive compulsive about it.

Strange because my building was spared (although I still didn't have electricity when I left for work). My friends who bought units in newer, more posh buildings had water coming in their rooms. To think the glass windows were supposed to be Wind-proof. So much for the Php5,000 monthly dues.

My head's a mess right now. For one, I have jetlag. Secondly, too many not-so-fortunate things are happening to me that I am not ready to talk about it yet. At least, not here.
